Seibertron.com report that "A journalist for the Australian paper- The Advertiser, Sean Fewster tips us on a returning voice actor for the next movie that completely refutes one Michael Bay's original statements about the movie sequel.

One of Sean's co-workers at the paper, film writer Andrew Fenton interviewed actor Hugo Weaving:

"Mega Secret
By Andrew Fenton
Film Writer, The Advertiser

In town to promote his rather excellent new Aussie film, "Last Ride", Hugo Weaving let slip he'll be returning as the voice of Megatron in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen".

Fans no doubt will recall that when we last saw Megatron, Sam (Shia LaBeouf) had rammed the All Spark cube into his chest, thereby destroying him. Despite this certain death, rumours have been circulating the villain was going to make a comeback. Director Michael Bay went so far as to flatly deny the rumour, telling Empire: "He's not in the movie".

Turns out Bay was fibbing. "I've already done it," Weaving says, adding Bay had told him to keep the news hush-hush. "He's over in LA and we were working on the video split sort of thing and I had this strange conversation where he seemed to imply it was all a big secret. So there you go - I've given you the secret scoop."

So how is Megatron resurrected? Weaving is coy about revealling too much, but does give a tiny hint.

"I think in the last one, doesn't Optimus Prime pick up a little bit of, a shard of the cube, or the thing that's left, and he takes it with him. Maybe there's something there... but I don't know," he laughs.

We'll find out on June 25, the film's Australian release."

Bumblebee5100 has posted a video on YouTube of the Transformers Animated toy advert for Jetfire and Jetstorm.  You can view the video below.

TF08.net has posted images of the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Wheelie toy, in both roboto and alternate forms.

Meanwhile the site has also posted more images of the BotCon Leozak, still awating official confimation.  As Leo Zak is a repaint of the Skyquake BotCon convention figure, it could well be that this toy will be the "special" more limited figure, following in the recoloured veign of Clear Mirage and Meister from the previous years.

Update 3/2/09 - As of 5:00 PM Central Standard Time today (3/2/09), the following items are SOLD OUT: non-attending packages and loose sets. The Wednesday and Thursday Customizing Classes are FULL.
